About Starpath
Starpath Robotics is developing a full stack solution for commercial-scale rocket propellant production on the Moon and Mars.
We are building one of the key enabling technologies that will make humans a multi-planet species.
If high ownership, fast pace, working with space hardware, and solving challenging problems sounds like a dream, come join us!
Senior Mechanical Engineer - Plant
Starpath’s Processing Plant team is on the forefront of a new technological field : creating industrial-scale amounts of useful things from the raw stuff we find in space.
Engineers at Starpath own hardware from requirements definition all the way through prototyping, production, and operation on the Lunar surface.
In this role on the Plant team, you will be responsible for subsystems and components required to convert Lunar-derived materials into rocket propellant.
You will play a key part in creating a Lunar propellant production machine, which will help lay the groundwork for humanity’s expansion into outer space.
Responsibilities
- Own architectures, systems, subsystems, and components from requirements to deployment as a Responsible Engineer on the Plant team
- Perform rapid test iterations on your hardware as-required
- Validate subsystems & components via testing in simulated launch / Lunar environments
- Interface with adjacent teams to cohesively integrate hardware with supporting subsystems
- Identify & action high-level improvements to program operation and direction
- Anticipate technology development and apply it to the Plant to accelerate Starpath’s mission
